Do you like to use silhouette stamps? Today I have a fun way to use silhouette stamps and colouring on the same card. But first….
Did you know that this is part of a Hop celebrating a new release from Altenew so you should have arrived here from the KELLY’s wonderful Blog!
I’m going to start today with some simple Watercolor Brush Marker Refill colouring (phew… that’s a mouthful lol) and I love that I can use just the outline layer of the Sparkled flower and totally change up the look!
I added a simple striped background from the Striped Circle Stamp Set as well as the necessary sparkle using some tiny Antique Gold Sequins.
Next is the Pen Sketched Silhouette which may look very familiar… and that’s because it is a silhouette version of the beautiful Pen Sketched Stamp Set (but facing opposite-ly). Isn’t it divine!
I decided to try out the Watercolor Pencils… without water and do some simple shading on these images. This sentiment is from the Mega Label Love set (which I just had to have lol)
And I added a little design paper from the Celebrations Paper Set as well as a couple of Satin White Sequins.
You can see my video or Watch it in HD at YouTube.
Prizes:
To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $50 gift certificate to 3 lucky winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog by 11/10/2020 for a chance to win.
We’ll also draw a winner to receive a $15 gift certificate from the comments left on each designer’s blog on the blog hop list below. All winners will be announced on the Altenew Winners Page on 11/12/2020.

Therese, you always make such gorgeous cards. Always. 💜
Love the watercolouring and design on that first card. It won’t let me watch video at the moment but I will try again later
Should be good now Christine!
You colored the flowers beautifully! Love the yellow one!
I love them both. Technology is wonderful, when it works, LOL. Video unavailable (says This Video is private)
Hi Janelle, the video is up and going now, I think it was just that the post went up a little earlier (for some weird reason….) Thanks for letting me know, Tx
You certainly know how to make beautiful cards.
Love them both very much.
With the second card, would I be right in assuming you didn’t add water?
Such delicate colouring.
Cheers
Liss
Hi
I can’t seem to find the video?
Cheers
Lisa
It’s up and working now, I think this post must have gone up a little earlier than Youtube… technology arrgh lol. thanks so much for the heads up!
Two beautiful cards. Love the Sparkle with the stripes, but both are really elegant â¤ï¸
You always make things look so easy and in a way that’s easy to follow and add our own touches. Can’t wait for your next Give me 5 cards. They’re my favourites!
I love the look of the watercolor pencils without using water. The result is beautiful
Hello Therese: You have shared a pair of gorgeous cards, I love them both and I would like to see the video but it says, “Video unavailable. This video is private”.
I hope you can check out what the problem is, I would love to see how you colored those amazing blue flowers.
Stay healthy and safe.
Thank you for sharing.
XO
Maria Rodriguez.
Hi Maria, I think it was just the ‘gap’ between when my post went live and the video but it seems to be working now. Thanks for letting me know. Hopeyou have the most fabulous weekend! Crafty Hugs Tx
Lovely, times two, Therese!
Off to watch… xx

Beautiful cards. Love the card using the watercolor pencils. Thanks for sharing
Beautiful cards. thank you
Such charming cards!! Thank you for sharing.
I always love your projects! So classy!!
I loved the Sparkle stamp set from the moment I saw it and it’s on the wish list. Your cards are beautiful as always. I have an old Derwent Woodless watercolor pencil set that’s hardly been used. I was thinking maybe I should add the Altenew set to give me more variety in colors. I love how you used it here, but would like to see it used with water!
Beautiful cards!! I really like the look of these pencils!!
Gorgeous floral! I am intrigued by your coloring! The watercolor pencils are so unique and am going to add to my wish list!
Therese, I look forward to all your cards and these are no exception, Yours are always my favorites.
I love your voice, your humor and your style. Thanks,
Beautifully colored flowers!!
Beautiful floral designs! Thanks for sharing the process video, I was able to view it on YouTube.
Lovely cards using the watercolor pencils. TFS
The second card is my favorite, the colors are so soft.
Beautiful cards!
The yellow is so pretty. I like how it is simple yet lovely.
Your coloring in of the flowers is just beautiful
Both of your cards are gorgeous but the purple flowers card is to die for!
Both of these are stunning Therese and I love the look of those pencils, no wood involved. Wonder how they will handle my sweatie hands lol. Your colouring as always is amazing to watch and the end result perfect. Now I’m waiting to see with water 💚💚💚
Beautiful coloring! I LOVE the yellow flower with the CAS design!
Wow! So gorgeous! Your coloring is incredible! I like both flowers especially the purple one. Beautiful!
Love this card! I haven’t seen this use of watercolor pencils over a solid stamp before. I really want these pencils!
Therese your yellow flower is just beautiful as are your other cards, of course.
Beautiful cards!
Stunning cards, as always Therese. Cannot wait to see these pencils used with water also.
Thank you so much for the inspiration.
Keep well.

I Love both cards but the purple one is my favorite! I love the shading, it brings that flower to life!
Lovely cards. I really like the black striped background and the lovely bloom.

Hi Therese. Love this new release and your so very simple, elegant and beautifully coloured cards are perfect. I always love to watch and listen to you, and you never disappoint. Thanks so much for sharing these two lovely cards with us for inspiration. Cards don’t have to be full of embellishments to be stunning. Love them.
Beautiful cards Therese! Simple and stunning!
No problem with the video, loved both the cards, but #2 is my favourite. Need to get some of those amazing pencils!
these are gorgeous Therese
Great cards! Thanks for sharing.
I love the striped circle, but sparkle…you made meant to buy!
so pretty
Your shading on these flowers and leaves is just mesmerizing. I so wish I could do this.
Therese, your CAS style cards are divine. Just the perfect proportions & your shading & colouring is so beautiful. Thanks again for making a video. I always enjoy them.
Love these purple flowers!
Love your cards, and I’m loving this release!! Especially love the purple one, but like how you put the stripes from the circle stripe onto the first one
I love to watch you create!! Gorgeous cards!
I love your coloring! Thanks for sharing your cards!
Your pencil shading is incredible! A must try!!!!
WOW! Love them. I have a study in watercolor sitting on my desk at the moment waiting to be made into a sympathy card and this looks like a great card to CASE. I am going to have to come back to watch the video – life is starting to return to normal and I have to do a kiddo drop off! haven’t missed having to do those hehe
Great video. I think I would be scared that I would snap the “lead” of the pencil without the wood. That’s just me! Looking forward to seeing you do more road testing.
I think it’s a while since I’ve watched a video – love the glasses 🙂 I’m not game enough to wear colour.
Therese, that pretty yellow flower is SO lovely! I love how delicate and beautiful this design is. LOVE it!
Warm Hugs,
Michele
I adore the soft floaty look you have achieved on these flowers, Therese! Something I must work on!! Thanks so much for the inspiration and video! Take care! 🙂

yes it was great fun, your cards are amazing…loved seeing you use the watercolor pencils as colored pencils…it worked out so well…gorgeous…
Both your cards are beautiful, but the one you made on your video using the silhouette stamp is absolutely gorgeous. Those pencils look amazing.
Both flower cards are just gorgeous!
That buttery yellow bloom is just lovely against the graphic stripes, Therese … and your pencil colouring is awesome (as ever) … there’s so much depth and dimension in each petal and leaf … simply beautiful! Hugs, Anita 🙂
